Tiny Trekkers: Saturdays, December<br />
3 and 17, from 10:30 a.m.<br />
to noon. Start your weekend off<br />
right with a fun and knowledgeable<br />
Stony Brook teacher on the<br />
trails learning about nature. Each<br />
day will have a special topic created<br />
to excite your child about<br />
the natural world. There will be<br />
crafts, activities and lots of laughter.<br />
So come and join the fun. This<br />
month’s themes: Hibernation/<br />
Nature’s Detectives. Ages 2.9 to<br />
6 with a parent. Fee: $5m/$6nm<br />
per person per session<br />
Space Invaders: Saturday, December<br />
10, from 6 to 9 p.m. Each<br />
December thousands of meteors<br />
collide with our atmosphere,<br />
usually unseen or unappreciated<br />
by Earthly inhabitants. Those<br />
who choose to get up before sunrise,<br />
however, and who are lucky<br />
enough to have a clear night sky,<br />
can witness a phenomenon that<br />
has continued for centuries. The<br />
Geminids Meteor Shower is considered<br />
by many to be the best<br />
show in the winter night sky. The<br />
Geminids are known for producing<br />
up to 60 multi-colored meteors<br />
per hour at their peak. Bring<br />
your sleeping bag (if the weather<br />
is cold) and lawn chairs, hats,<br />
scarves and gloves. We’ll supply<br />
the hot drinks and snacks. Minimum<br />
age 8. Fee: $17m/$20nm<br />
per person<br />
Birds of a Feather Flock Together:<br />
Sunday, December 18,<br />
from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Introduce<br />
your family to the variety of wintering<br />
birds at Stony Brook. Learn<br />
just how these creatures survive<br />
the harsh New England winters.<br />
Together we’ll look for golden<br />
and ruby crowned kinglets, rusty<br />
blackbirds, juncos, ruffed grouse,<br />
wild turkeys, and many more.<br />
Of course we will be sure to talk<br />
about any other wildlife we may<br />
encounter along the way. Minimum<br />
age 6. Fee: $6m - $8nm per<br />
person<br />
Spontaneous Explorations<br />

walk through the woods using<br />
this unique Native American invention.<br />
Beginners and experts<br />
welcome. If you have snowshoes,<br />
bring them; several pairs will be<br />
available for those who don’t.<br />
Other times we just get an itch to<br />
go birding. If the weather looks<br />
